The ACC now has nine bowl tie-ins and ten bowl eligible teams. Word on the street is that will leave N.C. State shopping since sources in the league office claim Clemson’s 6-5 versus bowl—eligibility—determining—teams is better than the Wolfpacks’ 6-6 record against same. But we digress…

There has been some talk that Maryland might play Navy in the new EagleBank Bowl debuting December 20 at good old RFK Stadium. Of course, the match up would make perfect sense for two geographic rivals with fan bases a short drive from D.C.’s historic stadium.

For some reason, and perhaps its because the Terps think a new bowl game is beneath a program of their stature (and girth), Maryland has not embraced the idea and claimed it would not be able to play in the game because it’s the last day of exams. (Editor’s Note: Seriously, do football players take exams five days before Christmas and/or during the height of bowl season? Really?)

WHERE IN THE WORLD...?

The way it is...

The way it was...

TAH DAMN GOOD CAUSE OF THE MONTH

NORTHERN HAITI HOPE FOUNDATION: After our recent trip to Haiti, we vowed to do more to help. Clean water is a critical issue for all Haitians. It's particularly problematic for those in rural areas. For $2,000 to $5,000 we can build a new well in a rural village as part of a program facilitated by the St. Barthelemy School and the Warrenton, VA Rotary. Send your donation to Wells of Health and Hope, c/o GPetty-VTA, 38 Garrett Street, Warrenton, VA 20186 and keep your eye on T.A.H. for progress reports. Thanks! CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR MORE INFO.
